Pierre and I are pleased to announce that Python(x,y) 2.7.2.0 has been released. This is the first major release based on Python 2.7. We'll concentrate next on bug fixes and updating the additional plugins.
Python(x,y) is a free Python distribution providing a ready-to-use scientific development software for numerical computations, data analysis and data visualization based on Python programming language, Qt graphical user interfaces (and development framework), Eclipse integrated development environment and Spyder interactive development environment. Its purpose is to help scientific programmers used to interpreted languages (such as MATLAB or IDL) or compiled languages (C/C++ or Fortran) to switch to Python.
